The brightly painted red, green, blue and yellow mobile clinic is proving to be a good idea. The Tutu Tester train is a mobile HIV and Aids testing clinic that travels around to different communities.

Spokesperson for Metropolitan Amos Tabane explains says “the Tutu Tester Train was launched in May in Masephumalela, the group Freshly Grounded was there as part of the testing and to encourage people to test their HIV status.”

This is an innovative programme that combines HIV testing along with screening of other common diseases; like diabetes and hyper tension.
